In Actual Fact…

So why in 2004 have I had enough of them?
Well, I think I can sum it up under 3 points.
1. I was brought up in the countryside.
2. I don’t like being told what I can and can’t do to myself, my property and to those who give me their permission without duress.
3. Common law, the English Bill of Rights, Milton, Locke, Sydney, classical liberalism. I believe the people are the country and society, whereas the state is a distinct construct, the agent - not the master.

I never thought that it would be the “countryside factor” that did it though. And no, I’m not some upper-class hunt member or racist, homophobic anti-European bigot - as their tactic of painting their country-based opponents seems to be - I’m the son of a family that has lived in the same village since the Domesday book, went to a relatively “normal” school, had parents who earned below average wage. Well, had a father who was self-employed, manufacturing things, so worked 51.5 weeks per year and earned less than average most years, who is seeing the fabric of his part of England ripped up by a spiteful metropolitan elite. And no, I’m not sure exactly what action to take, but I do know that I’m not the only person that thinks like this.
